How do I rename my team in the GameChanger Team Manager app?
- From your Teams tab, click on the team you wish to rename.
- Click on the Gear icon on the top right corner.
- Select "Edit Team Info".
- Click on the "Team Name" field, delete the old name, and type in the new name.

What should I do if I have a duplicate team and I already "left the team" before renaming it?
Contact Brian Olsen at [email protected] for assistance. He can help resolve duplicate team issues on the backend.
Can I use TeamSnap instead of GameChanger?
No, GameChanger is Glendale Little League's official team management platform. To ensure consistency across all teams and provide the best experience for our community, all teams are required to use GameChanger for scheduling, communication, and scorekeeping.
When should I communicate to parents via email vs. using the messaging feature within the app?
Once your team is set up in GameChanger, use email only as a secondary method for communication. The built-in messaging function within the GameChanger app is the recommended primary communication tool. Using the app for all team communications ensures everyone has access to the same information in one place.
What's the difference between email and the GameChanger messaging feature?
- The GameChanger messaging feature is akin to sending text messages but within the app and secure for only the parents and fans who are associated with the team.
- While it's possible to send email from the GameChanger app, it's not recommended as it negates the benefits of using the app as a "single source of truth" for all team communications and information.
- The messaging feature allows you to see who has viewed your messages, making it easier to follow up with those who may have missed important updates.
Now that I'm set up with GameChanger, schedules are entered, parents have RSVP'd, how do I use it on Gameday?
- First, identify a parent volunteer to score the game. One parent can score the game for both teams if you use head-to-head scoring feature, else one parent on each team will need to score the game for their team.
- Confirm rosters are entered correctly in the app before the game starts.
- Start scorekeeping. Here are a few resources to help:
- After the game, you can review statistics, share highlights, and keep parents updated on team performance.
Are there two different GameChanger apps? Which one should I download?
Yes, there are two different apps. You should download "GameChanger New" from your app store. The original GameChanger app is still available but is being phased out. All Glendale Little League teams use the new version of the app.
Do I need to pay for GameChanger?
No, the free version of GameChanger provides all the functionality needed for Glendale Little League and Knights teams. While there is a premium paid version available with additional features, it is not required for full participation in team activities and communications.
